FYI this post's "londontimes.live" is a Russian misinformation site:

The narrative was published by londontimes.live, a site designed to resemble a Western publication and according to DFRLab was disseminated by Russian and non-Russian pro-Kremlin actors. The source of the story was found to be the Russian Foundation to Battle Injustice, a group founded in 2021 with the support of Yevgeny Prigozhin and widely viewed as a Kremlin-aligned disinformation front.

    Abdul El-Sayed, an insurgent former public health official who harnessed Democratic frustration with the party establishment, narrowly defeated Rep. Haley Stevens in Michigan’s U.S. Senate primary, setting up a crucial test for progressives in a key battleground state.

    El-Sayed will face Republican Mike Rogers, a former congressman, in November in a race that will help determine control of the Senate. His first challenge will be unifying Democratic factions after a bitter primary that offered divergent visions for a party desperate for a path back to power.

    Stevens, who pledged her support for El-Sayed after conceding defeat, was backed by the Democratic establishment, including outgoing Sen. Gary Peters, whose retirement spurred a scramble to fill his seat. El-Sayed promised a more aggressive approach for confronting entrenched corporate interests and President Donald Trump, and declared his victory was nothing short of a political earthquake despite only scraping by Stevens.
